拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Movement: The movement is running at the time of cataloging, consistent with the age of the watch. The repeater functions but can be sluggish at times. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.
Dial: The dial has very light surface level scratches throughout. There is a small chip at the outermost edge between 12 and 1 o'clock that is not visible when the front cover is closed. The dial has very light surface level distress at the lower half. The crystal has wear and light scratches throughout.
Case: The 18k yellow gold Bailey Banks & Biddle Co. case has surface level scratches and very light nicks throughout. The cuvette has a scratch. Hallmarks are crisp and defined.
Overall Condition: Very good
